No matter how healthy you can be, our bodies will stop functioning once you're inflicted with a serious disease that can end your life anytime. But before the impending death, other people should make healthcare decisions when you can't make them for yourself. When that happens, you must appoint the said person by writing a medical power of attorney (POA). Get these documents from our website. These are editable and printable in PDF, so pick one to start writing.
A medical power of attorney is applicable when you're in a temporary predicament that renders your entire body useless, such as falling into a coma after a head injury, not being in sound mind, and being unable to communicate due to dementia. Write a living will first before the POA. It's a document that states the healthcare you want when you fall ill. In writing your medical POA form, appoint a physically and mentally healthy agent who will make the decisions for you. The agent can be your spouse if you have one, but it's best when it's someone you really trust. Your family might end up fighting over your financial properties while you're unconscious. State the actions he can do under the POA and his compensation for the whole duration of your situation. Leave spaces for the signature and print your document right away.
